Can you pay it off? If so, that alleviates the time burden. If not, I'd seriously suggest going for one of the RBoS cards that offer to "match your limit" - you may get lucky if you can prove that you want to transfer 25k from one card alone.
You might also get mileage by upgrading from FD Black (if your card is a black one) to FD Gold - some people I have heard have got a further few months 0% by upgrading to Gold - and don't ask, don't get.
HTH,

In my experience, cards administered by MBNA generally give the best credit limits.
So apply for an MBNA/Virgin card to do a balance transfer. It's unlikely they'll give you 25K though, so you'll probably need more than one card to cover 25k (RBS or Halifax).
I've also got a FD Black (25k original) and intend to do virgin application to cover my balance - down to ~20k now though.anger, denial, acceptance
